Paul Components Sidepull Racer Medium Brake Caliper Set for Brompton Bicycle
One set for a pair (Front & Rear)
We took our cult-classic Racer Medium brake, added a roller-bridge and trunion to make it sidepull, and then modified the reach and hardware specifically to fit Brompton folding bikes. This is absolutely the most powerful, best modulating, most adjustable brake you can put on a Brompton!

PRODUCT STORY
We had MANY requests for a PAUL brake that would fit Bromptons, and after witnessing way too many bad and downright dangerous adaptations of our (and other crappy knock-off) brakes, we decided to do something about it.
We modified the reach of our Racer-M, and added a super stiff sealed-cartridge bearing roller bridge and adjustable trunion to make the most powerful, best modulating, most adjustable brake ever made for Brompton bikes.
This sidepull Racer Medium uses some of the existing brake mounting hardware from your Brompton, so be sure to read the included instructions for proper installation. Between the arms there is enough clearance to fit a 45mm fender, and the brake will not pinch the side of the fender like most single-pivot side-pull brakes do.
We machine these brakes to the highest standards here in Chico, California. Please note that all of our brakes are sold per wheel.
